Let’s Talk About Your Ford Recall

A Ford recall occurs when Ford, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration discovers that a component of a vehicle does not meet Federal motor vehicle safety standards and poses a safety risk. When this happens, a bulletin is sent to the registered owners of all affected vehicles. This bulletin will inform the owner of the safety risk and the remedy offered to fix the problem (free of charge).

Currently, there is a Ford Explorer recall that has affected more than 250,000 vehicles nationwide, along with numerous Ford Maverick, and Ford Escape models.

Allow us to shed some light on what you should do if you receive Ford recall notice, and how we at Ford of Port Richey strive to get your vehicle repaired and back on the road with as little interruption to your day as possible.

The Current Emissions Recall

You may have recently received a Ford recall notice that your Ford Explorer SUV, Maverick pickup truck, or your Ford Escape SUV has been recalled. These recalls regard issues that involve emissions and safety risks.

While not every Ford Explorer vehicle has been affected, it’s important to know whether or not your vehicle is on the recall list. Failure to adhere to a recall notice could pose a safety risk, and could lead to an accident or injury.

If you’ve received a recall notice, schedule an appointment with our Service Center today and allow us to get your Ford recall addressed.

How To Know If Your Ford Has Any Open Recalls

Perhaps you drive a Ford Explorer, or another Ford vehicle, and you’re wondering if your car, truck, or SUV has an open recall. Recall notices are always sent in the mail, and sent to registered owners of affected vehicles.

However, buying a used vehicle, or recently relocating can cause your recall notice to get lost in the mail, or simply never arrive at the right address.

We recommend visiting the Ford website, and using the Ford Recall Check tool. There, you’ll enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and you’ll receive an up to date list of any active recalls on your Ford.
